So this week, I’m trying something new by using my 7D’s video function. I need to practice my focus while video taping…and I could really use a lot more light. I also wish I had done something better with my hair…and my sweater keeps riding up. Oh, and just in case you weren’t sure that I have a “southern accent,” I definitely have one! Alright…enough critizing myself – I hope you enjoyed my vlog today.

If you want to join us for future Vloggin’ Vednesday Episodes, here’s what’s coming up:

Vednesday, March 16th: “Q&A Day” – Vlog questions

Why did you start blogging?

If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Great video & you have a super cute living room with all of your great deals from Craigslist! I’ve bought & sold lots of stuff that way too & have always had positive experiences although I keep safety my #1 goal when utilizing it. Happy Wednesday.

time for a little more grace with yourself. you are beautiful – no one cares about your hair or even noticed your sweater. you spoke beautifully and did a great job.

i can’t wait to start my I AM BEAUTIFUL project. it really is something we all need so much in our lives!

glad you were able to do this without interuptions for kitty paw – even though she is funny.

i know you know this but to have better light on you – maybe put the camera where your china cabinet is and then face the window to keep focus when video taping with the 7D you must turn it on manual focus and then slowly get it in focus as you move around.

I just might come to your house and *borrow* :] your yellow flower center piece. I just love it. It’s so bright and happy.Oh, and update on finding kitty.. I packed up baby and headed to animal control, found the kitty that loved Jae the most, went to purchase and realized I forgot my wallet :[ We went back later that day and she was adopted. So sad. Oh well, another kitty time will come.

Ohh love your kitchen table. One day [when my two year old grows up] I want white furniture. So pretty. And, sorry girl, you can’t hide that Southern Accent from a fellow Southerner. Hehe. I’m usually pretty good at begging WHERE the accent is from…I’m guessing in your case Northern Georgia or the Carolinas. Great vlog! you’re a natural. Bummed there was no Kitty Paw.

I’m with Jill; no more dogging on your “accent” or your sweater that was definitely not riding up! I used to have a chair JUST like your green one; though it was zebra striped with red piping, and it was a freebie I scored from my friend’s mom. Though I also fought hard for it when we got married, Jeremy vetoed it and I gave it back. At least I can still visit it whenever I go home and see my friend, right?

I too am in love with craigslist! It definitely is an advantage to living in a college town–all the seniors normally dump their things on craigslist about graduation time, and it sure is a wonderful time to search for necessities. We found our oak entertainment center for $35!

The coloring of your home is awesome! I love the white on white with the natural wood furniture.

I’ve never purchased anything from Craigslist. Might just need to take a peek. Looks like you hit the jackpot. I absolutely love your green chair. Reminds me of my favorite chair that used to by my grandmother’s. I had it reupholstered too.

You accent sounded so much stronger this time. You’re so cute! I love that most of your furniture is from Craigslist ~ I have gotten so many awesome things from there! Great “Dr Suess” chair. I am waiting for my mom to give me her old ones so I can recover them (they look just like yours) ~ I really love that you recovered yours in such a bright color. Love the way it pops in that corner!

HA! Your sooo cute!!! Love the Vlog!!! I think I have mentioned this on my blog, but if I haven’t…my whole HOUSE is furnished with Craigslist. My husband and I moved home and said we wanted to see if we could furnish the whole place with second hand stuff…we have 2 bookcases that are from Ikea, but that’s it!!! I LOVE Craigslist!!! Great Vlog!!! love the accent!!!

Hi Ashley thanks for commenting on my video! I saw yours this morning and loved the table! What a great buy! I have a 60d that I recently bought but my video was recorded on my canon point and shoot. for some reason the p&s is great in low lights, and my house is DARK! Anyway, when I do use my 60d for my videos I usually sit facing a window. I’m sure there is a technical way to set it up for better lighting, but the camera is too new, and I haven’t had a chance to figure it out. -Shirley xoxo

Ashley, your accent is so cute. It just makes you sound so friendly….not that you’re not…that came out weird…but you know what I mean. LOL! I kind of love your table and chairs but if I had white there would be fingerprints all over

Dork? I think not! I think everyone sounds great, but they always have something to talk about, or seem so organized. So, hopefully I’ll get better as time goes on. I love the “room” vlog. So cute. And, it’s a good way to show people your style and taste in decor! I think your vlogs are very entertaining.

I don’t know what I love more, your Craig’s List plug (I’ve SOLD a lot of furniture that way!) or the fact that you pretty well won out on the “combining two households” deal I seriously envy you that chair. My hubby would have stuck it out on the curb with me in it! I’m very jealous that your decor is so together. In 15 (yeah a looong) years of being married, all of ours is still pretty mish moshed
